DNA replication is essential for the propagation of all life on Earth. DNA contains all of life's genetic information. Each of an organism's chromosomes, 23 in a human, is made up of one immensely long DNA molecule.
The single cell is the most basic biological unit. Cell division is a process by which a cell divides into many more cells in a series of events. Before each division, fresh copies of each of the numerous molecules that make up the cell must be created, including all DNA molecules.
This duplication process is known as DNA replication, and it allows an organism's genetic information to be passed on to the two daughter cells generated when a cell divides. In the growth and renewal of cells, DNA replication is critical. As they evolve into a larger body, growing organisms constantly create new cells.
Furthermore, some cells can be damaged, age, or die over time. It's critical that these cells are swiftly replaced with new ones in order for your body to function properly. Cell division, in which one cell divides in half to generate two new cells, is how cells achieve their regeneration and growth.
